After a half-century of dedication to Local 812 and Coca-Cola, Mario Alvarez recently retired. A Coke mechanic, Brother Alvarez served as a Trustee on the Local 812 board for 21 years. He served as a Shop Steward at the Bronx Coke Facility beginning in 1987. He plans to relax more in retirement, but wants everyone to know that he’s “Here for the Brotherhood” whenever needed.

A true trade unionist, Mario always welcomed new members and stood ready to assist our union.

With heavy hearts, we share the names of our brothers and sisters who have passed away during this pandemic. We send our condolences to our fellow members, families and friends.

We remain grateful for all they have contributed to our union and communities.

New York, NY – Teamsters Local 812 member John Vargas, 46, has been on the job for more than a decade. He works as a deliveryman for Union Beer in Secaucus, New Jersey. He’s also been a shop steward for about six years.

Vargas works mainly in the South area of Brooklyn, which includes areas such as Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay. His shift is punishing. It begins at 5 a.m., and ends a little before 5 p.m., but he works for four days and has three days off. His commute is difficult – he lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The Local 812 Health Fund Has You Covered

During these last three months, the members of Local 812 have been tested as never before.  Make no mistake, it was the members of our great union that have kept our companies operating during the pandemic.  We take our duties as essential workers seriously, but we will not allow unnecessary risks to the health and safety of our membership.

With the recent civil unrest that has developed because of the tragic and unfortunate event that occurred in Minneapolis, the Union has informed management that Local 812 members will not be required to go through areas where active protests are taking
